Lyric Social Contender

Logically appraise the situation
Sizing-up the ones who ll do you good
Realize it s not merely position
That gets you to the top that s understood

(chorus)
You can t live with yourself
So live off someone else
You say your one of us
But you re really one of them
So don t pretend - social contender

This rule by ladders hazardous ascent
Your path is strewn with others who have bent
Ambition hides from view those who are falling
Convince yourself you ll not be like those crawlingLaughing in the face of their distress
Believing they re impressed with your success
You ll find out the street you travel narrows
Poisoned by the edge of social arrows
